On Saturday Sept 7th Toledo Fire Department received a request to assist Oregon State Police - Wildlife Division to confirm a report of an Osprey stuck in a tree in the area of South Bay Rd and Wright Creek in Toledo. Crews did find the Osprey in a tree and stuck by unknown means. Due to unfortunate circumstances they were not able to rescue the Osprey right away. Tuesday morning at approximately 8 am Oregon State Police - Wildlife Division, Newport Fire Department, and Toledo Fire Department were successful in rescuing and freeing the Osprey who was stuck by a hook. It appears the Osprey got a hook into the rear portion of its body and had some line that got tangled in the tree when it stopped to rest. Once the OSP trooper freed the hook from the Osprey it did fly away.
Tuesday night September 10th just before 9 o’clock, a severe fire broke out involving North Lincoln Fire and Rescue’s ladder truck at Station 16, the St. Clair Station in Taft while it was parked inside the station. The cause of the fire is under investigation by the insurance company. Fortunately, North Lincoln Fire crews were conducting a drill at the station at the time, enabling them to respond swiftly and contain the blaze to the ladder truck alone. There were no injuries reported, and the station remains open and fully staffed. The station has a second ladder truck available and the ability to call on their mutual aid partners if needed.
On Monday, September 9th, our Steenson Road substation east of Newport was entered without authorization. Our security fence was cut, public property was stolen, and our substation control center was damaged. Theft of any kind is unacceptable, but damage to critical infrastructure like this puts our community at risk. If anyone has any information you are asked to contact the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office.
